Just spit balling here, but taking care of the planet we have, the one that exists, the one we are perfectly adapted to, seems like it would be easier than either of the first two options. Usually when we go somewhere new we just bring our same problems along with us.

Have you read any of Kim Stanley Robinson's novels on these topics? I highly recommend _Aurora_, which tells the version of the migration story that I wish the movie Interstellar had had the courage to tell. I'm now reading Red Mars, which deals with the terraforming part.

Interstellar migration is best seen as an engineering effort to terraform hard vacuum with no energy or mass except what you bring with you so I'm going to suggest that it's not true.

It’d be a generational trip, where the 4th generation reaches the destination with no guarantees it would work - seems hard :)
